On November 1, 2018, Marilyn Ann Umiker slipped quietly into the arms of her Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ. She was the daughter of Herschel & Gladys Harral, born on July
12, 1943. She had one sister, Joyce Ellis. Marilyn graduated from Buhl High School in
1961. Soon thereafter, she married and quickly became a devoted mother to twin
daughters and a son. In 1975, the family moved from Buhl, Idaho to Glenns Ferry,
Idaho. Her heart and home were always open to anyone who needed a place to live, a
hot meal, a batch of cookies or a haircut. She lived a life that was full and fun. Marilyn
was happiest when serving others.

In September 1993, she married Eldon Umiker and moved to South Dakota, where they
built a life together. She traveled back to Idaho at every opportunity to spend time with
her kids and enjoy her beloved cabin in Pine. Her soul was at peace there. Marilyn
was the proud mother of Wanda (Doug) Crandall, Wendy (Mike) Myatt and Jim (Lea
Ann) Schrader, and proud grandmother of Jimmi, Jesika & Justice Schrader. She was
a loving step-grandmother to Kristel Cedergreen, Kyla Danziger, Talyssa Crandall and
Kellyn Calloway, as well as great-grandmother to Riley, Eric, Nathan & Tommy.

She happily participated in the lives of stepchildren for 25 years: Barbara Umiker,
Brenda (Gary) Even, Bryan (April) Umiker, Lisa (David) Schaefer, Jonathan Umiker and
Tina Pengra, as well as 9 grandchildren, Moriah, Molly, Grace, Owen, Brady, Isabella,
Emma, Kaitlyn and Jocelyn. Marilyn loved people. She was blessed with many friends.
Her warmth, kindness and sense of humor will be missed.

Memorial services will be held 11:00 a.m., Saturday, November 17, 2018, at the Bethesda Lutheran Church in Hot Springs with Rev. Gary Jacobsen officiating.
